photoreceptor cells that respond to bright light and color and transmit sharp images.
One of two types of light sensors in the retina. Cones work best in bright light and detect color. In the human eye, cones respond to either red, green, or blue wavelengths of light.
The specialized photoreceptors in the human eye that allow us to discriminate between different wavelengths of light. Our eyes contain three distinct types of cones, designated the L, M, and S cones because they are primarily sensitive to long, medium, and short wavelengths of light. (The other type of photoreceptor in the eye are known as rods. They are primarily used in low-light and peripheral vision and do not contribute to color vision.)
One of the two major classes of photoreceptors, the other being rods. Cones are less sensitive to light than rods and mediate color vision.
the conical light-sensitive receptor cells of the retina that function in color vision and in the perception of fine detail; composed of an outer segment (containing the photoreceptor molecule iodopsin, which is composed of photopsin and retinene), inner segment, cell body, and synaptic region; about 61/2 to 7 million per eye, much fewer than the number of rods; densest accumulation is in the macula and, especially, the fovea; absent in the optic disk (optic nerve head)
The retinal photoreceptors responsible for daylight (photopic) vision. So called because of their shape.
They are receptors that are sensitive to all the colors in the visible spectrum of light.
The detectors in the retina which discriminate between photon energy levels and perceive color. The three types of cones are especially sensitive to high, medium and low energy levels (blue, green, and red light).
The sensory receptors of the retina that are active in bright light and see in color.
Retinal receptor cells responsible for visual acuity and colour discrimination.
Light-sensitive cells densely congregated in the central portion of the retina. They account for precise seeing and function at higher levels of illumination than the other light receptors, the rods. Color vision is a function of the cones.
Special cells in the retina at the back of the eye which enable us to distinguish hues in the daylight (Zelanski).
light sensitive cells in the retina that process central, color, and daytime vision (photopic).
Photoreceptors in the retina of the human eye that are sensitive to high light levels. The eyes have three sets of cones, each sensitive to a portion of the visible color spectrum red light, green light and blue light.
the receptor cells in the retina that detect color and fine detail.
Specialized receptor cells in the center of the retina that detect colors. 560, 648
cone-shaped light-sensitive cells in the retina particularly in the macula area; cone function predominates in daylight with a small pupil allowing one to make out details and shapes, especially colors
The cone cells are located in the central part of the retina. This area is responsible for producing sharp, detail vision and color vision.
Light receptors in primates' eyes that operate in bright light; provide color vision and visual acuity.
Light sensitive receptor cells mostly found in the central part of the retina. It is responsible for sharp visual acuity and the discrimination of color.
light sensitive cells located primarily in the central retina, sensitive to fine detail and color
Light-sensitive retinal cells that permit sharp vision in bright light and allow for color discrimination. These cells are shaped like cones.
Cone-shaped light-sensitive cells in the retina, particularly the part known as the macula. The cones are mostly used during daylight, when pupils are small, to allow a person to see details and shapes, especially colors.
One type of specialized light-sensitive cells (photoreceptors) in the retina that provide sharp central vision and color vision. Also see RODS.
Visual color-receptor cells of the retina. There are three different types of cone-shaped cells, each thought to have a different photosensitive pigment. Under normal and bright lights, cones produce the sensation necessary for color vision. See rods.
The three types of colour receptors in the eye.
These are the color receptors for the eye. Unlike rods, cones work best in lighted conditions. They are responsible for the eyes high acuity. Through processes from these three cones, red, blue and green the entire visible spectrum can be seen.
Visual receptors that respond to greater light intensities and give rise to chromatic (color) sensations.
Conical photoreceptors that detect colors and details under conditions of intense light. ( cônes, n.m)
One of two types of specialized light sensitive cells (photoreceptors) in the retina that provides the ability to see objects in color and at high resolution in the central field-of-view. See rods.
Light-sensitive cells in the macular area of the retina which are responsive to stimulation for color. Sensitive in daylight conditions (phobopic vision).
structures on the retina that are sensitive to bright light and color. There are 3 types of cones - ones sensitive to red, ones sensitive to blue and ones sensitive to green.
sensory organs on the retina of the eye, allowing color vision.
Photoreceptors that function in bright light situations and that provide color vision.
Receptors in the retina which are sensitive to colour. It is believed that individual cones are sensitive to either red, green or blue components of light.
